Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the poise of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of a life self-centred, self-reliant, and self-controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power, ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis.

We live in a competition loving culture. We love the performance, the big win, the ticking seconds of the clock as the game comes down to the wire. We watch games and cheer, sometimes to the point of obsession, but if we really wanted to see greatness - wanted to cheer for it, see it happen, understand what made it happen - we’d spend our time watching, obsessing on, and maybe even cheering the practices instead.

Publisher's Summary

Before The Greatest Salesman in the World, The Richest Man in Babylon, and Acres of Diamonds, The Magic Story captured the imagination of people worldwide, inspiring them to reach for ever-greater levels of success. Since its first publication in 1900, this timeless parable has sold tens of millions of copies.

Meh

After the extensive build up of anticipation for the magic story by the narrator, it was a little bit of a letdown to hear the actual story. I don't know what it is, but it was not as earth shattering life-changing as I thought it would be! The reading itself was great, just a little light on the content.

Great Listen!

Yes. I already have listened to it several times. I enjoyed it and seemed to have gotten something out of it.

What other book might you compare The Magic Story to and why?

The Magic Story is unlike any other I have heard.

What about Howard Rip, and Zvika Furman’s performance did you like?

Their accents made the tale more colorful and enjoyable.

What did you learn from The Magic Story that you would use in your daily life?

Believing the message of The Magic Story, or some element thereof, whether true or not, made it very easy to improve my confidence and assertiveness in a very positive way. It has only been a couple of days but I feel different and people seem to treat me differently (most certainly a reaction to my change in demeanor). Regardless of the reason(s), it has been a very positive experience.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book. I would recommend it to anyone with an open mind.. What you gain from this book is entirely your choice.
